• IE9 Leads Pack in HTML5 Support? Not Exactly – It turns out the Worldwide Web Consortium’s test, which IE9 topped, primarily tests the aspects of HTML5 at which IE9 excels. Tested against other HTML5 standards, and it doesn’t do as well as other browsers.

“Younger people like iPhones and Android devices; older people like BlackBerries.”

that may be due to the fact that BB held sway in the workforce so long; older folks tend to have jobs that paid for the BB or at least allowed them access to teh work network. It’s only been fairly recently that iPhones have caught in the workforce, as the ‘youngsters’ get jobs and move into the real world I expect the numbers to move to match the overall market.

“Sophos claims its new software is ‘business strength’, but do you need it for a Mac?”

As one who has actually used the Sophos A/V product (their regular A/V product, which is not sold on the consumer market) on a Mac, I can testify to its efficacy. Most of the malware I see comes at me either through the web (drive-by downloads and redirects) or email – and Sophos has managed to capture them and keep them from trying to do anything nefarious.

Now, I still have to exercise caution (which basically means “don’t authorize any program to make changes or run unless you initiated the action yourself”) as most malware gets onto Macs via user authorization (the user enters that Administrator password to allow the software to install/run, for example.) But, the same would hold true in a Windows environment. I have also found that the Sophos client is far less of a resource hog than competing products. I look forward to installing this, and trying it out. Will let you know my findings in a future post.
